Our holiday dining room

 

-------

This year I decided to do Paper whites

in galvanized buckets for the dining room centerpiece

with vintage sheet music used as a table runner.

I used glass bowls as liners

and tucked burlap around the edge to hide the bowls.

Once the Paper whites started

to grow and droop a little I tied them up with red and white

baker’s twine for a festive touch.

    Your dining room is lovely! I've never tried the paper whites because I never seem to start early enough. I'm an A+ procrastinator.

    I love the elegant understated look--still festive but not overloaded.

    I hope your Christmas is merry and bright.

    I love how you displayed your paperwhites! Adding the book pages and the little metal tubs to the mix is so pretty. I bet your dining room smells heavenly!

    Great idea! I forgot to buy and plant paperwhites this year. I usually do them in old battery jars.
